When you ran chkdsk you were running DOS or Windows. This means that a code-page is set for the operating system at that time. When you insert a USB disk, it is also running under that code-page. When you then run chkdsk it checks characters based on the current code-page.
It has just occurred to me that until now I did not actually have access to a file-system that has "bad characters" on it and is by the look of things from a Non-US code-page. So, if you are in fact running a Non-US version of DOS/Windows, I'd appreciate it if you could create a dd-image of a small USB thumb-drive with some "bad characters" on it, so I could attempt some more testing. -- Problem in FSCK checking Chinese filename (Big5) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
